its not just new royalties for webcasting that bites hard , but also the
proposed reporting requirements. they are listed below, and
unsurprisingly, are nearly impossible to comply with.
Here's what is desired in a listener log, as part of the monthly report.

such as date and time the user logged in and out, the time zone of the
place at which the user received the transmission, the user identifier,
and the country in which the user received the transmission.
---------------------------
Here is the full list of items to be reported for each (yes each) song.

(B) The channel or program; or in the case of an AM/FM Webcast, the
station identifier used by the Service, including the band designation
and the FCC facility identification number of the broadcast station
that is transmitted; provided that if a program is generated as a
random list of sound recordings from a predetermined list, the channel
or program must be a unique identifier differentiating each user's
randomized playlist from all other users' randomized playlists;
(C) The type of program: ``A'' (for an ``archived program'' as
defined section 114(j)(2)), ``L'' (for ``looped'' if the program is a
``continuous program'' as defined in section 114(j)(4)), ``V'' (for
``live'' if the program is transmitted substantially at the time it is
first performed in its entirety), or ``PS'' (for ``prescheduled'' if
the program is an identifiable program transmitted at times that have
been publicly announced in advance);
(D) For programs other than archived programs, the date of
transmission;
(E) For programs other than archived programs; the time of
transmission of the sound recording;
(F) The time zone of the place from which the transmission
originated (as an offset from Greenwich Mean Time);

the sound recording within the order of the program;
(H) The duration of the transmission of the sound recording (to the
nearest second);
(I) The sound recording title;
(J) The International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) embedded in
the sound recording, where available and feasible;

album and, in the case of compilation albums created for commercial
purposes, the release year identified in the copyright notice for the
individual track;
(L) The featured recording artist, group, or orchestra;
(M) The retail album title (or, in the case of compilation albums
created for commercial purposes, the name of the retail album
identified by the Service for purchase of the sound recording);
(N) The recording label;
(O) The Universal Product Code of the retail album;
(P) The catalog number;
(Q) The copyright owner information provided in the copyright
notice on the retail album (e.g., following the symbol (P))
or, in the case of compilation albums created for commercial purposes,
in the copyright notice for the individual track; and
(R) The musical genre of the channel or program, or in the case of
AM/FM Webcast, the broadcast station format.
(3) Listener's Log. Except for a preexisting subscription Service,
a Service that transmits sound recordings pursuant to a statutory
license under 17 U.S.C. 114(d)(2) shall also include such Service's
``Listener Log.'' The ``Listener Log'' shall contain the following
information in the following order for each session during which a user
is logged in to receive transmissions as part of the Service:
(i) The name of the Service or entity;
(ii) The channel or program, using an identifier corresponding to
that in the Intended Playlist;
